What a blessing to hear Gunshot active again. Here is an unreleased Gunshot demo from circa 1995 - 1997 entitled The Heart and the Cross. Deliberately dropped lyrics are clear and the production builds.

Here is a throwback video of Gunshot performing Live in Newcastle 1993. Its full 50 minutes of Mercury, Alkaline and Rix getting full on rowdy in their prime. The energy is the room is unreal.

Gunshot, now just Mercury, have been hardcore since day one. This return is no different and Burn Cycle delivers that sound you expect.

Gunshot followed up their amazing debut with Crime Story an equally gritty track with just as much power and punch. This would be their last release with the original line up of members, but already the group had developed their own variation on the Britcore sound and left a lot of people shook.
 

Back in 1990 times were a great deal harder than they are now and the sound Hip Hop artists were producing became increasingly rebellious and gritty. East London’s Gunshot comprised of MC's Alkaline, Mercury and Q-Roc (who left to join Son of Noise) and DJ's Barry Blue and White Child Rix were at the forefront of this sound and were one of the hardest groups around. They created an almighty buzz when they first came out.
